RoguePhotonic Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Well that sucks.....though maybe it's for the best...because I will have to beat all this again in like 5 days (updated) Never mind I found the game on some certain "cough" programs so am downloading it now....i'm probably still gonna buy it though....

Swat Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 My only complaint is the laggy menu systems and other things also...like text on the screen that will lag you in space...hope it's not like that in the retail version..... mine was smooth sailing The demo ends once you cross the payment levels that would level you up for the next level of your character (level 2) which is $27 000 I believe..... i was working so hard 2 get the defender on the missouri battleship (near the norfolk shipyard) u noe (it requires a level 2 2 buy it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 hmmm...odd then...like when you turn on umm I think cruise...when it charges before it goes....that text that pops up with the % makes the game lag bad then right when it goes away it smoothes out....

leXX Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I didn't experience any lagg whatsoever and I've only got a crappy 32mb Matrox Millenium! I know what you mean about it ending too quick though. I searched for more jobs but alas there just wasn't any. I'm still contemplating whether to get it or not, there are just so many games I want in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstar__2 Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 yeah that's true leXX, but this could also be the kind of game you pick up a couple of years later for a nice price;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 no big lag for me, only the parts that require processor energy, and since mine is P3 800, it bites some times. The graphics = halved for me since I got the TNT2, but it still goes smoooooooooooooothly. Just a couple of more days until it's out, can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Heh, Blackdove, since there's multiplayer on Freelancer- Want me to kick your ass? I dont have many games coming out that I really want. KOTOR is held back(on PC, dont have XBox) on PC till fall, and the Exp. for Neverwinter Nights is held back to may. So that leaves a good 2-3 months, and I have 25$ worth of zoning points at best buy, so it's half off. And yes,I have the money for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swat Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I know what you mean about it ending too quick though. I searched for more jobs but alas there just wasn't any. well lexx, after u got a ship, enter the bar of any planet or base n click the briefcase icon (juz rite under the bar icon). those are random mission, not story 1s. after like 9 - 10 random missions, u rise 2 level 2, which ends the demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 it just cut me off too. I was playing and beating the crap out of some baddies and then boom, no more game . I'm going to buy it when it comes out though. I don't really like space combat sims but this one is too sweet not to buy:D it's like Diablo 2 in space:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoguePhotonic Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 The menu's and stuff is laggy in the full version also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 If you want to hack the demo a bit and not have the 26,000/level 2 limit - someone has released a file that lets you do so. Save this to your HD: http://freelancer.portalive.com/downloads/save1d13.fl Then open up My Documents\My Games\Freelancer Trial\Accts\SinglePlayer and place the file there. Load it in game and you will be on (can't remember the name) the planet where you end up after having completed the first mission. The limit is now 1 million not 26,000. You still can't progress to level 2, but still, it will give you tonnes of hour's worth of gameplay and hold you through to the final release. Hope that helps some people, it's certainly prolonging the demo for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 You reach level 2 when you are done with the demo's story part....in the full version anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Silver:. Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 i can tell u it's not rushed. it was announced 4 like 4 years? Actually your wrong. It's was announced 5 years ago as Privateer 3. I'm also convinced now that if the final is anything like the demo then yes, it has been rushed. Why you ask? 1. You can't invert the mouse control. 2. Most space sims leave an option to fly by mouse control, but primarily use joystick control. This game primarily uses mouse control but has no optional joystick control. Programming joystick into a game that already has mouse control is not difficult at all so why isn't it in here. 3. The voice overs are spliced together to give the interaction a less canned feel. This will get repetitive very quickly if it shows up in the final release. I'm glad your so thrilled with the game, but it's a far cry from the epic Freespace battles and Independence War flight dynamics it was promised to be. I know what I'm talking about. 3 years ago I was an associate editor for the a very poplular PC gaming site. I wrote reviews for simulation games. A year before that I worked in the media department in Austin, TX for Origin. After the split, and the creation of Digital Anvil, several of my friends worked as graphic designers there. I'm a diehard space sim freak, and this game appears to be catering to casual gamers who enjoy space shooters. It's got the potential for greatness, but it's hanging out in average land right now.

The_One Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Well, as with everything else, it's all down to personal opinion at the end of the day. As with all games, I couldn't care less what other people think. If I dislike a game, I dislike it. If I love a game, I love it. With Freelancer, it's the latter. I think it's a great game, well above average, and one of the best, most addictive games I've played in a long while. It's worth my money, so when it comes out, I'll buy it. End of story.
